Streichen

Streichen is a member of the Lightning flight subspecies Desert Sweeper and meets the very specific coloration and genetic criteria set forth by that flight.

Desert Sweepers are a curious sort. Though they certainly belong into the Shifting Expanse, they are
most often seen wandering around the barren wasteland and the yawning canyon rather than spending
their time near the Lightning Farms. Though meticulous workers, Desert Sweepers appear to focus
their skills towards more combat based usage instead of locking themselves up into a scientific lab.

They make extremely skilled survivalists that know their ways around the desert and somehow
seem to possess a sixth sense for avoiding potentially lethal lightning strikes. It makes
them extremely valuable as scouts, warriors and hunters that do the dirty work for
the larger corporations. No worries, though - they enjoy their hard job.

Desert Sweepers first appeared on the border between the Sea of a Thousand Currents and the
Shifting Expanse. Rumor has it that they retained their rich blue coloration from crossings with
species that lived beneath the surface and then retained it as an adaptation to camouflage with
lightning strikes and thunderclouds. The crimson tint on their wings and bellies began to develop
over time, which indicates a healthy and mature dragon nowadays. Eventually, they migrated
towards the Highland Scrubs and Carrion Canyon, where they can be found even to this day.
Rarely are they seen closer to the Tempest Spire, though no one quite knows why they do this

Their skills as desert scavengers make each and every one of them excellent survivalists and also
hunters. They're the ones that know all the tricks to make it in this harsh enviroment - whether
that's hunting specific animals or utilizing the fauna, such as cacti juice, or making a camp to spend
the cold nights. Many of them appear to have an internal map of their enviroment that will always
lead them back home if they get lost, and even if they don't have this born skill, they're skilled
at reading the stars and using them to navigate their way back to their clanmembers.

Though they prefer to live solitary lives, they make extremely loyal employees and companions to
those that manage to gain good standing with them. The effort to gain their trust is well worth it:
there aren't many dragons that are naturally born into roles that ought to be filled in a world that
spirals around scientific research and advancing technology. They're those that would stand at
the frontline if the Stormcatcher calls to war or risk their life for a fellow clanmate.
